- Frum ADHD coach
I’m a teacher-turned-coach who spent years helping people through the ups and downs of ADHD — long before I realised I had it myself. In the classroom, I always connected with the students who couldn’t sit still, couldn’t keep up or just didn’t seem to fit. The ones who reminded me of… well, me. Without even knowing what coaching was, I was already doing it — listening properly, offering gentle structure and helping people believe in themselves again. Since becoming a coach, I’ve seen time and time again how powerful it is when someone finally feels understood. That moment never gets old.
My coaching style is down-to-earth, encouraging and all about finding what actually works for you. No lectures. No pressure. Just honest conversations, useful tools and small steps that feel doable. I care about helping people live in a way that reflects their values — and if you’re not quite sure what those are yet, we can explore that too. Whether you’re trying to get started, stop procrastinating or just make sense of the noise in your head, we’ll work at your pace, in your way. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to help you find the rhythm that works for your brain.
I do this work because I get it. I’ve lived it, I’m still living it, and I’ve seen what a difference the right kind of support can make — not just for managing ADHD, but for actually feeling good about yourself. I’m not interested in quick tips or magic cures. I care about helping people feel capable, understood and a little more in control of their day — and their life. That’s what coaching gave me, and that’s what I love helping others find too.
ADHD in the Frum World
In yeshiva settings, ADHD is often misunderstood. A bochur might be labeled lazy or lacking motivation when, in reality, he’s struggling to stay engaged in long hours of learning without breaks or movement. He may want to do well, but constantly feels behind or frustrated with himself.
A man might show up late to Shacharis despite caring deeply about davening. Or a father might love his family dearly, yet find the routines and responsibilities of home life completely overwhelming. Meanwhile, women with ADHD are often underdiagnosed — especially if they did well in school, hyper-focused on their strengths, or were taught to “just try harder.” But ADHD can quietly chip away at confidence. The emotional and mental load of running a home, juggling children, and trying to keep things “together” can feel impossible — even when everyone else assumes she’s coping just fine.
Struggling to be ready for Shabbos on time, forgetting to daven or finding it hard to sit and learn isn’t a lack of yiras Shomayim. These are often the result of executive functioning challenges — not poor values or weak motivation. With the right understanding and support, these spiritual and practical struggles can be approached with compassion and clarity.
